I'm a third of the way through the book, and so far it’s just outdated, repetitive verbiage about the idea that being is essentially constituted by the world, as a network, and that it is determined by a tonal affect shaping its perception of reality, thereby placing it on a different plane of sensible relation to the world than rationalist objectivism. Does it get any more interesting later on? Because at this stage, it doesn’t go beyond the average thinking of any materialist student in 2026. I had been promised that Heidegger would be a complex, transcendent, and interesting experience.
The only philosophy worth reading is that which makes you realize how fucking pointless and gay it all is. Anyone in their right mind eventually gets tired of solving logic puzzles in abstract space and increasingly narrows their focus to what they can actually *do* in this bitch of a life; and philosophers will tell you nonstop what you should and shouldn't do while themselves being unable to agree on a single goddamn thing. Isn't philosophy a huge game? A great boring game with no winners and only losers? Does not the march of time make fools of every thinker and thought ever? Figure out what you've always wanted and pursue it like Heidegger pursued a metaphysical anchor by another name.
Heidegger is one of the greatest minds but one of the worst writers in philosophy. Ignore the primary writings and read secondary lit, preferably stuff that ignores his gay lexicon.

>rips off Husserl and throws in some volkisch nonsense>is still the most popular philosopher of the continental tradition 100 years laterExplain this. Fucking explain it.

>>25202812Very Heideggerian anon.
OP here, I’m now halfway through and it’s getting worse and worse. ‘You indulge in trivial things in your daily life because the openness of possibility to which you are exposed as a being makes you anxious.’ Yes, thank you Heidegger, I really needed you to arrive at that conclusion, this truly deserved a 600-page book.
>>25199379read his later work
>>25199501>The only philosophy worth reading is that which makes you realize how fucking pointless and gay it all is.So Wittgenstein?
>>25199379>Does it get any more interesting later on?And this is the guy calling out fucking Heidegger, a character of aspoiled dulled teenager.
>>25201112Picrel's the best one-volume intro to Heidegger's thought, the first half covers Being and Time and the second half skims through everything else. Simon Critchley's lecture series "Applydegger" is also good.
